...developed into fair candidates for the eleven. Why would it not be an excellent plan to have games between the dormitories ? Hollis and Stoughton would certainly be about equally matched, or nearly so. Then let Hollis and Stoughton set the ball a rolling by having a foot ball game right away. And it might be added that no knowledge of the science of the game is required for the two teams to have a right good time...
...foot ball at Harvard. The team was equal physically almost man for man to the Princeton eleven. Our men were in as good training. They rushed harder, Yet, upon the whole, Princeton played all around us. Every man on the Eleven did far better than the college had any right to hope for. But it was through their pluck and muscle that they acquitted themselves so well, and not through their familiarity with the fine points of the game. It is this fact that they were so good in some respects while so poor in others that makes the college...
...stewardship, Mr. J. J. Sullivan, taking the place of Mr. Balch, who had been steward since Jan. 1876. Last year, 1883-4, saw a decided improvement in the board, service and prices.

He, however, has stated that he would not row this year; and those who are acquainted with his work in the past will say, that although he will be very much missed, yet he has earned by his faithful work the right of suiting his own convenience. The loss of Scott, '84, who rowed starboard stroke will also be deeply felt. He was generally admitted to be the handsomest oar in the boat, and then, too, his position is an unusually hard one to fill. All of the remaining six will probably occupy...
...your right as you enter stands a case of rare Roman coins, dating back as far as 400 B. C. They are of bronze, silver and gold; the oldest is a huge bronze as, which must have served the ancients, in time of need, as an excellent sling-shot. Unless you are an infatuated coin-collector, you will not spend much time at this case, but will pass on to other curiosities. On the shelf of a bookcase stands a cast of that grim old Puritan soldier, Oliver Cromwell, from the original mask taken after death and presented to Prof...
